Might want to post this on the EE Feedback and Comments section. He does business over there and while I have never dealt with him, i have heard nothing bad either.

I loved working with him, he is a great guy, nice to talk to and LISTENS. He helped me finalize my details and then put it all together. Did some great machining. On the barrel thread protector for flash hiders etc. I cold feel where the barrel and cap meet on half of the cap, could have been matched a bit better but rest of work was great. See my rifle in uppers section, my fluted barrel in photos at www.ar15barrels.com

I have not done business with him but he is very helpful on the forums when you have a question about barrels and seems very knowledgeable. I would not be afraid to use him at all.

Quick turn around too. We had to wait on the Kreiger Supermatch barrel but when it was in Randall had the work done in less than 2 weeks because he had to sent it out to have flutes painted. Otherwise it would have been sooner.

Varminator- I really did not like how that thread protector fitted either, but I was in a predicament. Because your barrel was fluted by Krieger, they also had to do the profiling where the flutes would be. When I made the thread protector, I use the piece of the blank that I cut off the muzzle. they were the same diameter, but the lathe chuck did not hold it perfectly centered. That's why they don't align perfectly. If I would have made a new thread protector, it would not have been from the same krieger steel and the colors would not have matched perfectly. Different stainless steels from different batches tend to have slightly different shades. Don't really know if it would have mattered after blasting though  Usually, when I do thread protectors, I start with the barrel and thread protector oversized and I turn them both in an assembled state. Then there is absolutely no seam. Your barrel was a special case... As for anyone else looking for feedback, I don't really have feedback listed on AR15.com, or maybe I do and I just don't know where to find it. I do have a feedback forum on my own website with customer comments and email links so you can ask them for references if the comments are not enough. I think my feedback forum is far better than a simple +1 given here on AR15.com www.ar15barrels.com/feedback |

Hey Randall, How R U?
I figured that was most likely the case. As long as I don't run my finger over it no one else will ever know. Winter has been tuff, am dying to get out and shoot again...comfortably that is. |

It's cold here too, barely making it to 70 today.
Almost have to close the front door to the office. Christmas day it was 80 and we had to run the air conditioning in the car... |

Thanks for the Dam weather report Randall, I'm jealous. Man you can be out shootin' dogs in a
t-shirt , lucky guy. At least we may hit 50 today which will be like 70°, and my feet might finally thaw out now that deer season ends tomm. Bring on the Yote's! Randall won't be offended. We all like references, especially when we are dealing with someone clear across the country, whom unfortunately may never meet. This was "My FIRST"  and he taught me a lot. And I am obsessed with details and perfection and I got both. I emailed him a lot and he responded to all with in depth answers. I got a FREE edjumacation.

This is one thing I like about him. He doesn't just tell go with this.... But, Why to make that chioce. And in his posts when people ask about something. His posts seem to have substance... Not just an opinion, but actual facts. One thing that concerned me. Was the lack of contact information both on his site and here. Just waiting on that guy with the Les baer to Email me.... If I don't hear from him by 1/1/06. Then I look ahead for the .204 critter weapon.

I have not done work with Randall at AR15Barrels, but I am planning to send him an upper soon. I have discussed in emails my planned work and he replied quicker than most dealers.
The photo's on the website look great. In my line of work I deal a lot with precision machining and the way he describes his methods for machining and also in this thread is on the money. Based on what I have seen and read, he knows what he is doing-read his website description....he knows what he is saying....never met him, never seen any work....but I will send him my uppers. Randall, will contacting you in the next two to three weeks, Richard S. in Louisiana. 77Bronc |

Ok I found the phone number now. And I see now that this is a side line thing. What I meant is that most people have Addresses, Phone Numbers, ect... ect... But, I see that your not an actual store front. Still haven't heard back from the other les baer guy yet. Don't want that gun... But, If I can get a real good price on it I win't mind. Then wait on my build. Thanks again... I feel much better. And I also have done maching and deal with alot of machinists. So I know what your saying when you say he is knowledgeble.
